While l was on duty at night in the

We're assassinating a man in the Rue
Cherchemidi. Well, instead of going
out as fast as we could to help this
man who was assassinating or assassi-
mated, the officer SAYS to me: Go im-

police-he lives in the Rue Grenele-

we found him lying stone dead. with

How Salmon Is Canned.

In preparing salmon for canning
the fish are dressed of fins, head aud
entrails ut the rate of 1.500 or 1000 q
day by each man. They go through
three washings and cleauings, and are
cut by machiue into lengths just the
height of can. These pieces are
each sliced lengthwise into several
pieces. The men who do the filing,
press the pieces as compactly into the
cans as possible; Chinese will fill
900 cans in day. The filed cans
are then taken to the washing machine
where they are rapidly revolved under
spray of warm water and are rubbed
with a sponge at the same time, after
which they are wiped dry with pieces
of netting.
! In the crimper the edge of the cover
| is crimped and the cans then roll
across a brick soldering furnace, the
ends passing through a trough of
melted solder This machine and fur
mace will dispose of 20, 900 cans day
and over. The completeness of the OPP
| Grafton is tested by examination and
| immersion in hot water, and, if no
| further soldering is necessary, the
cans are immersed again for an hour
| and 20 minutes in caldron of boiling
water. after which they are again
tested by being tapped on the top by a
small wooden mallet, imperfection be-
ing indicated by the sound. The good
ones are punctured to let the hot air
escape and are immediately sealed up
again.
The cans are now rolled on a track
into an iron retort and cooked by
steam for an hour and Is minutes.
They are next plunged into vat of
hot lye. to remove every particle OF
grease. and are immersed in n tank of
lcold water until they are perfectly
cool. flie final testing is made. by
1.-TWO men who both tap each can with a
large steel nail, their trained ears de-
tecting any wrong sound. Food canned
with all this care is in no way unfit for
eating. Good Housekeeping.

The People of China.

The population of China is known to
have been greatly overestimated by the
Chinese themselves in the earlier days
of European intercourse. A recent
Chinese official report places the mum.
ber of inhabitants at 382. .000,0O This
agrees quite closely with the estimates
of European statisticians. In 1912 the
population of China was supposed to
be about AIS, 900, 900, but whether
there has been any such decrease as
these figures indicate cannot be known,
though it seems to be much more
probable that the 1912 census returns
were exaggerated. The area of China
proper is less than half that of the
United States and Territories exclu-
sive of Alaska, and yet it contains six
times the number of Inhabitants. il
these late official ysturns are correct,

A Hopeless Task.

Sir Ashley Cooper used to relate the
following anecdote of an Irish candi-
date before the examining board OF
the London college: What is SIM
pie aud what Is a compound fracture?'
asked the examiner. The reply was;
"a simple fracture is when the bone is
broken; and compound fracture
when it's all broke" Sir Ashley asked
him what he meant by ''all broke.
Il mean," he replied, "broke into
smithereens, to be sure" 81 ventured
TO ask him what was .smithereens.
He turned upon me with intense ex.
preston of sympathy upon his counte.

Really English, You Know.

The English do not say by Jove"
and do not say lawfully jolly" They
people do. They have two words con-
stantly interjected in conversation
"really?" which is put in as an inquiry
equivalent to lean it be sop and
''fancy! an exclamation of delighted
appreciation of good story. No other
words are as hard worked in the En-
glish language just now as .'really"
and ''fancy'-the latter pronounced
fawncy. The turning up of the trous-
ers is good form only in lawn tennis
suits. 1t is disputed question wheth-
er the Prince of Wales turns up his
trousers when the gravel is very wet.

WooD RIVER TINES: The fee bill
just passed by the Legislature will
prove quite satisfactory to the tax
payers. 1t should also, under exist
ing circumstances, prove acceptable
to the officials. BY it the expenses
of Alturas county will be reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum.
while the officials are allowed enough
to give them good living, and leave
them something OF a surplus, with or
binary management. To be sure, it
will be impossible in future for the
Sheriff to draw from $4,000 to S25,-
600 per annum for the criminal bust
ness alone; it Will likewise be I'M
possible for the District Attorney to
drag out Of the county treasury from
$4,000 to &l2,500 per year, not to
mention the thousands of dollars paid
out, because of his unnecessary GRIM
inal suits, in mileage and per diem,
to an army of witnesses and iurymen.
But the former official will receive
fully $4,000 year for his criminal
business, and the latter quite as much +;

n. CARPENTER, of Garden Valley,
called on the World Saturday, and
informed US that there are MANY
complaints in the valley and on the
other side of the Basin, in regard to
mails, both papers and letters, from
this place, they being several weeks,
In some instances, in reaching their
destination, and the people over
there claim to know where the fault
lies, and talk of circulating a petition
for the removal of P. NJ. 1t is not
the fault of the office Of this place, as
everybody well knows. Mr.. Carpen-
ter says the WORLD is frequently a
month in reaching his postoffce, a
distance of only thirty miles. We
have heard Of similar complaints for
a long time, and have mentioned the
matter, hoping to thereby put stop
to this inexcusable carelessness and
negligence. We don't think it is
done through righteousness, but just
pure carelessness, and we trust this
little reminder of what will follow il
more care is not exercised in the
prompt forwarding Of mails hereafter,
will have the desired effect. We
know nothing of who is guilty of this
frequent carelessness, except what
we have been told, and therefore will
refrain from mentioning any name.
Those who claim to knew are the
ones to act.

CHAs. TozIER, of St. Louis, arrived
here the other day and went up to
examine the Forest King mine, in
company with X. P. Plowman.
Wilson, who was here short time
ago, negotiating for the purchase of
the mine, is also representative of
this company. The deed is deposited
in one of the banks at Boise City.
Tozier is the company's expert, and
the sale now depends on his report.
The Forest King is one Of the best
paying mines in Boise county, and has
an extensive pay chute. There is but
little doubt that the report Will be
favorable. 1t is said that this COM
pany, if the sale is made, will open
the mine by running tunnel in
from the Elk creek side of the noun
tain, and will put up big mill on

The bill introduced in the Senate
by Colonel Z. D. Boyle, accepting,
on behalf of the State of Nevada, the
splendid cabinet of minerals and
curios douased by the Nevada branch
of the Society of Pacific Coast Pho
neers, passed both Houses una nj
monsfy.
When it was called up, Senator
Poujade prefaced the recommendation
of it's passage with the following elo-
quent remarks:
'sfn Natures common course we
are passing away. The men of AZ,
Az and '49-those tried and true
men who braved the dangers of the
ocean and the desert-are passing
away. They came not in luxury and
ease-that more than myriad band
full of the strength and valor of young
manhood, full of the ambitious fire
that makes men great. Through the
rocky defles of the mountains, across
the parched and weary plains, or
buffeting the pillows of the Pacific,
they came to turn the desert into a
golden land. And they were great.
With their strong arms and quick
brains they have buiIded common
wealths which the people of old could
not have conceived as possible to ex-
ist, save in the fantastic dreams of
poets. The best blood and spirit of
the youth of all nations congregated
on the strange border of the western
world. No wonder that the proper
ton of brilliant men produced by the
Pacific Coast has been greater than
that Of any other land in the worlds
history. But they are passing away
Year after year they have been
crossing the river, till now but few
remain with us, and they stand near
the shore with white hair and dimmeC
eyes, waiting for the summons thai
must soon come to them to join thei
fellows. But they go not like the
quarry slave at night, seourged to hi.
dungeon 1t was always theirs tc
give. As they prepare to depart
they turn to give US their last blessing
and royal gift-royal In its intrin
sic value, richer than Pluto's mine,
in the memories that cling around it
Let us accept it with the thankful
ness, the reverence that BELTS it, ant
worthily place it where it may al
ways remain a precious heritage an,
sweet remembrance of our nobl
pioneers"
